Managing the golf course

Everyday, the golf course superintendent communicates with his/her maintenance staff to assign tasks and plan for the day's play. How crews are organized and managed will directly impact the golfers' enjoyment of their game for that particular day. Keep in mind weather can determine changes in daily scheduling. Golf course superintendents schedule times throughout the season/year for watering, fertilizing, topdressing, seeding/sodding, drainage, verticutting and other primary maintenance duties to ensure the health and beauty of the course. Daily repairing of divots, ball marks, dew removal, and picking up trash are equally important as any assigned task in getting the course ready for play.
